The Laconia Middle School Boys A-team rolled over Merrimack Valley, 54-20, to record their third straight victory of the season. In what coach Rod Roy called "their most complete game of the season", the young Sachems jumped out to an early lead and never looked back. Leading all scorers was Jacob Filgate with 19 points and five rebounds. Dalibor Kresovic, Riley Roy, and Nick Drouin chipped in six points each, while Parker Minor added five. Filgate also anchored the defense with four steals, while Nick Murray, Jake Ellis, and Drew Muzzey each had two steals apiece. Playing well off of the bench was Dan Engleson who had four points, two boards and two steals. The victory puts the Sachems over .500 for the first time this season at 7-6. "We are headed in the right direction", said coach Roy.
